Presentation Modifiers

A presentation modifier is a code that defines how a part of a date or time value should be displayed. For example, FNn displays the day of the week as the capitalized name of the day, using the current language. If your system is set up to use English and the calendar used in the United States, the name of the day of the week (FNn) for 15 August 2007 is Wednesday. The formatting code FWw displays the numeric value Four. Using German with the same codes on the same date displays the values Mittwoch and Drei (Wednesday is the third day of the week in the European calendar). Table F-4 describes the presentation modifiers.
